What exactly went wrong? Setting DESTDIR is the correct way to do this sort of thing. You only need to set it when running the installworld or installkernel steps though -- there's nothing that gets compiled into /usr/obj which prevents you from installing into a different than normal tree. I use this sort of construct frequently for updating jails, or when managing boot environments. > /usr/src/UPDATING doesn't say how to update for two DESTDIRs on the > same build. For each different DESTDIR, just repeat the installworld, installkernel, check-old, delete-old* steps setting DESTDIR=/some/where on the make command line. The equivalent for mergemaster is to add '-D /some/where' to the commandline. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey
